State of the telophase

Woke up yesterday morning with the symptoms of a UTI. Got a doctor appointment and had it confirmed. It's early enough that the symptoms are merely annoying instead of AUGH PAIN OW, but I'm hyper-sensitive to them as I had a roommate end up in the ER with one once.

So I now have antibiotics and a mandate to pound the water down. And no instruction to drink cranberry juice, which is good as I hate the stuff. Apparently the current medical thinking is "it may have a slight positive effect for some people," instead of being a cure-all, which I think is all to the good as: yuck.
